Get 1:1 Advice from Vetted
Startup Mentors in London

Simple answer

Because they are nice people.

Extended answer

• They genuinely enjoy helping.
• They want to share their experiences and help others learn from them. Sharing their experiences, wins and failures can truly change the trajectory of someone else’s path.
• It keeps them on their toes. No better way to sharpen your skills than to teach someone else!
• Speaking with up and coming businesses is fun and exciting!
• Growth Mentors have a growth mindset and are looking to learn in each and every situation- including mentoring sessions.
• They are new to platform. New mentors are asked to do some free sessions in the beginning to get their feet wet and get a feel for the platform. Only after mentors have 3 reviews can they set a price and charge.

We have a very detailed filter system for you to sort the mentors. Filters like areas of expertise, tools, language, price and industry.

Members can also post a help request and have mentors apply to help if they feel they are a good fit.

Then the third option is to just ask us! Give it a try right now and ask us on live chat 🙂

Three choices:

• Skype
• Zoom
• Google Hangouts

Mentors and mentees are able to set their communication tools in their profile settings.

It is a good idea to connect with the other person once the session is accepted and the details are given. This ensures that the correct details were given and when it is time to start, you can start on time.

We get this question a lot.

We are very good at weeding out mentor applicants that view this as a lead gen source.

You can rest assured that there is no “catch” or hidden upsell here.

We do have a “three in the queue” policy which encourages mindful booking.   But once you complete one call, you can book another one if you so wish.

Please note that for mentors that charge for their time, there is no limit on how many you can book at once.

You’ll find many more reviews that our members left us on our TrustPilot page.

Here are some of our favorites:

“With this platform, you won’t get stuck at the ‘general stuff’ you read about in “self-help books”, or “how to grow any business fast – speeches” from a random podcast.”

“Been on the platform for a few weeks and have gotten a ton of value from it already. I’m hesitant to spread the word, as my mentors might start getting overbooked…”

“The value you get for such a small price is utterly staggering. If you have a business, and you’d like to grow, I don’t believe there is any better place to get the best mentors.”

“This is an amazing product honestly. I needed help with my startup and this is my go to place now. A mentor usually cost $100-200 per hour, but here you get so much value out of a much lower price. It feels like a strong community and mentors are all super nice and helpful. I was mentored by someone who founded his 10M+ company, and another SaSS founder with 7 figure ARR.”

Here are some tips on how to get the maximum bang for your time on growth mentor calls.

• Come into this with realistic expectations. They’re mentors, not magicians.
• Ask your mentor if they’d be cool with you recording your screen with Loom
• Give contextual information to help paint the picture of your current situation.
• Growth mentors will be asking you lots of questions, answer them as honest as possible.
• Don’t be afraid to push the boundaries of question asking. Be inquisitive. Stories are gold.
• Don’t feel pressure, just relax. There’s no right/wrong way to do this. Avoid binary thinking.
• Try to form mental patterns, especially if you speak with multiple mentors. Pay attention to metadata.
• Embrace alternative views. Ask the mentors to play devil’s advocate and challenge your assumptions.
• Be friendly and authentic. If you’re likable, the mentors will be your biggest supporters (even after the call is over).
